About Moissanite

What is Moissanite?

A Gemstone Born from the Stars

Moissanite has one of the most extraordinary origin stories of any gemstone — first discovered inside a meteor crater by Nobel Prize-winning scientist Henri Moissan in 1893. What he found wasn't a diamond, but something with an even more brilliant sparkle. Today, moissanite is recreated in laboratories to perfection, bringing that celestial brilliance down to earth - ethically, sustainably, and beautifully.

Composed of silicon carbide, moissanite is one of the hardest and most brilliant gemstones in existence. It isn't a diamond alternative — it's a gemstone that stands magnificently on its own.

Why Choose Moissanite?

Unrivalled brilliance Moissanite has a higher refractive index than any other gemstone - including diamonds. In plain terms, it catches the light differently, producing a rainbow-like sparkle that is uniquely stunning and entirely its own.

Exceptional durability With a rating of 9.25 on the Mohs hardness scale, moissanite is second only to diamonds in hardness. It's built for everyday wear and designed to last a lifetime - and beyond.

Accessible luxury Moissanite offers the look and feel of a premium gemstone at a fraction of the cost of a mined diamond. That means you can choose a larger, more brilliant stone - without compromise.

Ethical and sustainable Every Florence Eve moissanite is lab-created, meaning it is completely conflict-free and produced with minimal environmental impact. You can wear it knowing it came into the world responsibly.

A story worth telling From a meteor crater to a laboratory to your jewellery box - moissanite carries a story unlike any other gemstone. Cosmic in origin, conscious in creation, and breathtaking in brilliance.
